UP(1)

NAME
up - display system uptime in uber-cool format

SYNOPSIS
up [option]

DESCRIPTION
up was written as a replacement for the uptime program that comes with most Linux distributions. It can output the uptime in the standard format that most users are accustomed to or it can output the uptime in its native format. up's most popular feature is that it can calculate and display the uptime all the way out to decades.
